Well, another trip to the Dr. My potassium is finally up! (It only took 3 months, heart palipatations, a cardiologist) So I'm stuck taking potassium chloride elixer...YUCK! (better than the molasses that I was taking to increase my levels). The Parkinsonism is worsening, my head nods continually as if I was listening to music. I've actually had people ask me, "What are you listening too? I don't see any earbuds?". Embarrassing! A good friend nick named me "bobble head", it's endearing from her, but when strangers comment, it hurts. I will see the specialist this July. My research I did, wasn't promising, so that's why I ask "Is there Hope?"
My disability was denied, again..:-( . Who would've ever thought that at the ripe ole age of 41, I find I cannot support myself and kids. With all respect to reforms of government funded programs, I can't believe there is nothing out there for someone in my position, or that some other appointed Dr decides just how ill I am, and still believes I can be gainfully employed? I submitted my appeal. All I can do is wait, and pray.
Heaven have mercy and God give me strength.
Well dang girl! Glad the potassium is up.
ReplyDeleteWhat is Parkinsonism? Is that a form of Parkinson's? I'm not familiar with that term. It almost sounds like it is with the head bobbing and stomach problems.
Have you considered wearing ear buds? I think I would then you could just tell people it's good tunes. :)
It's a shame so many people have scammed the disability office that it makes it hard for the people that really need it to get it.
Hugs XOXOXO
Yes, Parkinsonism is a form of Parkinson's, a risk factor with people who have gastroperises.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try the ear bud thing, will have to get some for my lil one since he wants to do everything mommy does. That'll create humor! Laughter is the best medicine, they say. ;-)
I was afraid of that. Darn. That makes the stomach thing make a whole lot more sense to me though. Have they tried giving you any of the drugs for Parkinson? Might help with the bobbing and the stomach.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, booman would like ear buds!
I agree. Laughter is good!
